Police use of radar that can see into a house. In its present form, it can only report on whether someone is inside, and their distance, but as the article notes, more advanced forms are becoming available.

We shouldn't even need to go to court. The public servants should be already know that any and all searches require a warrant to be reasonable.
And everyone can thank the courts for screwing everything up. The judges crave power and control and have read so much between the lines that the new judicial version of the constitution is 10x longer than the original.
The 4th is simple. The first and second clauses are dependent. This means that the relationship between reasonable and warrants is inseparable.
And in spite of the corrupt and wrong Barron ruling, there is absolutely no evidence that the 4th does not apply wholly against the states, without resorting to the "pulled out of their arses incorporation doctrine".
Thus every search and seizure must follow the complete 4th which means a warrant for every search and seizure to be reasonable.
The judges DO NOT have a better knowledge of the facts than other folks. The judges have simply lied to the people, who are actually superior to them, and claimed to be in charge. It is high time We stood back up and held the judges accountable. Good behaviour includes adhering properly, i.e. strictly, to the letter of the Constitution.
John Locke asked: "For what is the point of drawing up dumb, silent statements of laws, if anybody may attach a new meaning to the words to suit his own taste, find some remote interpretation, and twist the words to fit the situation and his own opinion?"
Following Locke's words, why the hell was the Constitution written, if the courts can sway everything depending on which way their junk is hanging.
I'm guessing it will by disallowed without a warrant under Kyllo v. United States. If using a passive infrared scanner to detect activity within a house is an intrusive search that requires a warrant, then actively beaming radio waves into the house so that you can see the reflections thereof *MUST* be an intrusive search.
